Blog and Categories with Sections

Hi,

I'm trying to get an understanding of how I should set up a blog which has multiple sections and therefore lots of categories and subcategories.

From what I understand if it's in the Blog all categories then have to live inside the Blog set? So then all you can do is make categories and subcategories within that?

If that's the case is there a way I can specify which categories (and their sub categories) are shown on a post type? Currently there is a massive list when in fact only a small section should be available per post type.

How would you ideally like it to work?

I suppose if I could minikin the structure of the blog sections with the same sections within the categories functionality. Then within different post types have the ability to specify which category section gets displayed.

e.g. be able to create a category set per section?

Yes, anything that allows greater control of what Section categories belong to. Currently when creating a post there's a massive list of categories to look through.

Ok, I'll give it some thought and see what I can come up with.
